signs are much alike. the figure being the same

upon some correspondence with the scuiptors.
The BarthG design represents Lafayette IN

An interesting comparison between the
army expenses of this country and Eu-
rope is made by London Truth, which
says: The amount annually spent by the
European countries to keep up theif
armies and navies is e181, 1870, 900. The
amount spent by America is about e8,-
600, 600. Adding, therefore, the cost for
war debts and for armaments together,
it will be seen that Europe pays 1904,
76O, 900, and America Els, 900, 900 per
annum. How possibly can Europe hope
to hold her own against her trans-Atlan-
tic rival, when she handicaps herself,
in the struggle for commercial suprem
acy, with the stupcndous charge of
e876, 900, 900 per annum1 AS if this
were not enough, Europe is each year
increasing her burden, whilst America
Is each year reducing hers"
